Becky was an honest woman, who led a dedicated career as a tool and die layout inspector with MPC, formerly known as RB&W for 30 years, and she then worked for Tenneco for another 10 years before retiring. She was a member and served as past president of the UAW and was very active in 4-H, especially with her children.
Becky was a talented cook and she loved horses, playing bunco, and bowling, where she was a member of several recreational leagues. She always spoke her mind, made her intentions clear, and above all, left no doubt in her greatest passion of all- her family.
